Currently I'm still in my undergrad (majoring in math and getting a minor in physics) and I am planning on going to grad school.
I really love the theory part of physics, but hate working in labs (I did that pretty much all last summer and that is what made me decide to switch majors).
Also, I'm pretty fond of both the applied and theoretical sides of mathematics.
Anyway, I was just looking for some feedback maybe from some people that were in similar shoes in their undergrad years. What road you decided to pursue and were you happy with that decision?

OK, here's how the real world works ok?
Those with AA's build and prototype stuff that the BS's make. The Masters end up being promoted to middle management and Ph.D's are promoted to Department Heads.
You could work for just about any large company- ask a few of the instructors for ideas.
Remember this- put your emphasis on the social and political stuff if you want the promotion.

There are many companies that need people who know math and physics, like companies that make cameras, or that try to solve problems assicated with construction. There are many places and businesses that you might not even think of that could use your kind of knowledge, you can start looking at what kinds of jobs are out there and you might be suprised the variety of jobs that don't require spending all day in a lab.

I did a math undergrad degree, and now I work in a physics lab--but mostly doing programming.

U r good in computational skills and don't like laboratories.
You could choose something in computers and software languages. You will earn a lot in this field.
Otherwise go for computation and statistics....and work for jobs like survey departments of goverments and investigation officers in police.

Materials engineering. As Earth grows old and depleted of resources, new materials will be needed to sustain life. Further, as technology advances, new materials will be needed to support that.
But, to really pin down that job in materials engineering, you need a PhD.

Well you could always be a professor or maybe work for the government. If you work for the CIA, you could say "I have the best job, I just can't tell you about it."
